    I'm trying to load Excel 2.0 on my VP/ix system and am not having to
much luck.  The first try I got a message which said something like:
	illegal execution at xxxx:yyyy

    I gave up thinking that Excel required a '286 or better, but when I
decided to give it a try last night to write down the error message so I
could call SCO, I got much further! This time it whined about a lack of
disk space and refused to install!
    Needless to say I'm not humored. I've got 7000+ blocks free, but VP/ix
only thinks I've got 1m+ free.

    So I've got two questions:
    - does anyone have Excel running on VP/ix ?
    - how do I fool the installation into thinking I have enough disk space ?

    thanks
